Speaking of exploded views what should we have but an exploded view of quite possibly the greatest controller of all time! Drawn to scale and featuring every nuance from start/select switches to the rubber pads this is a wearable tribute to classic Nintendo gaming goodness. The ‘model no. NES-004′ is available from huzzah apparel. It may cost a bit more than the standard tshirt ($25) but for this level of geek detail and sophistication it is worth it.
I have a real soft spot for technical illustration - be it blueprints or exploded diagrams a savvy illustration of a complex topic gets me every time. That’s probably the reason that I glommed onto this infographic tee from Let’s Be Awesome entitled ‘Stereo’. But don’t let the titular naming modesty underwhelm you. The front features a lovely retro image of how a number sequence is strained through an orange box to produce a lovely interstate off ramp… or something.
Today on MilitantGeek I am pleased to present the prototype of the Al Gore environmentally friendly PC. No need to plug it in! Just turn the crank on the side and you have luxurious computing power for less than a minute! Email taking longer than that? Just turn again turn the crank again for a generous, yet fleeting, burst of temporary power.
But wait, there’s more!
Not only is the clockwork PC environmentally friendly but we’ve seen how much time you spend surfing pr0n David Hasselhoff wallpapers how to make vegan burgers taste like something other than sawdust recipes family pictures. With all that hand cranking you not only get the Internets but you get a workout too! It’s just that easy! Operators are not standing by but you can get this incredible tshirt of the clockwork pc for an low, one time payment of $20.99. Click today before your old fashioned computer kills another innocent Brazilian rain forest!
How awesome is it to wear a shirt that resembles the mass of twisted cables in my spare bedroom? Well, ok, maybe not awesome but real yo. But be warned - within the tangled mess is a hidden viper. Why? Cause it makes a cool shirt.
The design, ‘Caution’, comes from the European store Supermandolini. It’s priced at 24 euros (which, given the crushing plummet of the US dollar, is like $124 - or something). You can pick one up from their online store.
Valentine’s Day is coming and love is in the geekified air in the offices of Militant Geek! Monday through Thursday I’ll be bringing you the best Geek TShirts that say “I love you… and your brain.”
Love is like a many pointed thing, full of sprockets and bearings that must be kept in fine condition to prevent the entire enterprise from coming to a screeching halt. Cogs are to be oiled. Calibrations adjusted. Flux capacitors charged. In short, it’s work. Amorphia Apparel, the brains behind the Think Science store recently featured on Militant Geek, understand this. Their Gear Heart tees start at $14.99 and can be ordered from their product page.

Ever wonder what hardware does for romance? Ever contemplate the subtle eroticism of ‘male’ and ‘female’ cable termination naming conventions? Ever hypothesize that you had too much time on your hands? Well, the folks at Go Ape can help with the first two questions with this intimate ‘While the Kids are in Standby Mode…’
The shirts are available from Go Ape Shirts for $18. Discovered via TCritic.
I admit it - we missed this shirt the first time it went around on Woot.com. However, while I have missed the $10 period the benevolent adcopy overloads at Woot have seen fit to give every geek a second chance (albeit now at $15). It features a striking blue circuit board on a blackish/navy blue background. Finally, it shouldn’t be confused for a very similar design from uneetee we mentioned several months ago.
Like many readers here I tend to prefer shirts that portray the wittier, more sophisticated side of geekdom (like MacGyver toilet paper humor) than perpetuate the trite stereotypes. However, sometimes I stumble upon a shirt that is just too goofy not to share - in this case its “Keepin’ I.T. Real” from T-Shirt Hell. Your piece of cultural perception re-enforcement (and a nice play on an urban slang) for $18.

I have to agree with Andy, who writes the wonderful HideYourArms blog: exploded hardware designs are hot. That’s hot like - the - graphics - card - needed - to - play - Crysis hot, not hot like - your - mom - hot. This awesome hoodie will cost you $45 from WireAndTwine.com and, frankly, worth every coin casually loitering about Mario 3. Now if they just had an exploded nun chuck for the right side… Even without the other peripheral, however, the hoodie still makes other Wii-themed merchandise - like the Gaming Glove seem positively lame.

So the Militant Geek has a pretty decent head of hair and likes to show it off before he becomes follicly challenged. However, he does realize that other geeks may not be quite as lucky to have such a coiffed comb over keeping their brains cozy on winter excursions for caffeine and Doritos. In such cases Tooks, or ‘Hats You Can Hear’, might come in handy.
Granted, the reason people like showing off their white iPod earbuds is the sense of aesthetic superiority they feel over their plebeian, non-Jobs worshipping acquaintances. And, unfortunately, the earbuds go inside these hats - rendering their white design purity moot. So why am I even bringing these $25 mp3 player accessories up? Because, just between me and your browser history, I can tell you’re not a douche.
However, I am a little concerned about the compulsive Perez Hilton refreshes…
